RSV-INTREPID
Short Title: RSV-INTREPID Project URL: http://www.rsvintrepid.org.au/ Proposal URL: http://classic.ipy.org/development/eoi/proposal-details.php?id=116 RSV-INTREPID provides for two 40 day summer voyages of scientific investigation involving 50 students and 60 scientists (the students selected on merit from their second last year at school from Australia and 87 other countries). Each student will be tasked with three investigative programs designed to complement IPY dedicated projects. Our multi-disciplinary approach is aimed to give students the widest possible exposure to polar science. Intensive ship-board and shore-based investigative and experimental projects will be led and mentored by young scientists working with small student groups.We aim to consult with other EOI's to develop specialised student programs and to foster and develop joint EO and C objectives. We expect close communication and interaction to develop between our students, young science mentors and IPY project leaders. Each student will be required to prepare an investigative report which will be published in The Society's "Proceedings" and appear on RSV-INTREPID's website. We aim to establish an RSV-INTREPID Base Station for the duration of The IPY partnered by AUSTEOC.
